I just painted my garden, it came out very “ chocolate box”. Can anyone have a go and show me how else I could have done it? I know that would be difficult because I know my garden very well…..the atmosphere has to be “ Spring- like”  It’s on the gallery.

I like the painting you have done Marjorie but I am always up for a challenge as you know, so I will try and have a go at this, sometime this week. Great photo by the way.

Oh you’re a good sport Denise! And you can use “ artistic licence”.

You have a lovely garden - especially when it's the right way up.  I don't know that I'll respond to your challenge, BUT - I can see how I might!

Oh go on Robert! I was thinking of how you might have tackled it, especially as you have painted many scenes of the “ countryside” with all the mixes of greens ( which were difficult I found).

Denise, I was so excited to have a look. What a great job you made of it, so different but definitely my garden but in graphic style! Definitely not chocolate box! My printer is broken at the moment so I’m going to ask a friend to print it off for me. Is that ok? And thank you for having a go when I know that everyone has time commitments.

I'm glad you like it Marjorie and of course it's ok to print it off. I enjoyed doing it.
